cannot see linux apache web server in windows network

Hi, I am having troubles accesing a intranet web server that is running in RH9. I can see it locally using the localhost or IP reference in the browser but when I try to reference it from one of the windows pcs using the IP address I cannot see it.

The Servername directive in apache is set to the IP address of the server. I can succesfully ping this address from the windows pc but when I use it in the browser it does not work. The Listen directive in apache is set as default (port 80).

Any help is what configuration should I se would be greatly appreciated.

YEs, the error is "page can not be displayed". And there is no record of the acces atempt in the error log or in the access log.

Now that you mention it, it appears it is a problem with Linux and the network reather the apache config. Strange, becouse I can surf the web in the Linux pc and even copy files from one of the windows pcs...

I am using RH9, apache 2.0.53

i'm running apache on redhat. the webserver and all clients are on the same 192.168.0.xx network, and - get this - the macs (panther) and some pc's (windows xp home) CAN see the webserver no problem. the pc's running windows xp pro CANNOT see it.

i'm fairly confident that the apache .conf's and other network settings on the linux box are good, especially since connectivity is available from mac and xp home edition.
